Check the clutch on your engine fan.

The fan should have some resistance to it when the engine is cold.NOT ON..you can test it that way.If it feels like it will spin it freely then it is shot,or going to go.
Funny that you say that you can't find one anywhere but haven't posted any AD looking for one.

for some reason I thought it just over heated at 45 and above, if you don't have an undertray you should but that's probably not it lol
